Embodiment Construction

[0047] All percentages are by weight based on the total weight of the composition unless otherwise indicated. Similarly, all ratios are by weight unless otherwise indicated. Where pH is mentioned, the value corresponds to the pH measured at 25°C using standard equipment.

[0048] Furthermore, all numerical ranges herein are to be understood as including all integers or fractions within the range. Additionally, these numerical ranges should be understood as providing support for claims directed to any value or subset of values ​​within the range. For example, a disclosure of 1 to 10 should be understood to support ranges of 1 to 8, 3 to 7, 1 to 9, 3.6 to 4.6, 3.5 to 9.9, etc.

[0049] As used herein and in the appended claims, words in the singular include the plural and vice versa unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus references to "a", "an" and "the" will generally include plural forms of the corresponding terms. For example, reference to "a component" or "a...

Abstract

A skin test device for determining an infant's sensitization to different foods having different levels of allergic response. The skin test device may include a plurality of chambers, each chamber housing one of a negative control material, an infant formula and a protein component selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, a hydrolyzed protein, intact casein protein, intact whey protein, or combinations thereof.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to devices for detecting an individual's immune response. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a skin patch device for detecting an infant's immune response to different infant formulas. Additionally, the present disclosure relates to a skin patch device for detecting an infant's immune response to protein components with varying degrees of hydrolysis. [0002] Cow's milk protein allergy ("CMPA") is the most commonly occurring food allergy in infants. Two forms of CMPA can occur: an IgE-mediated response that results in immediate symptoms, and a non-IgE-mediated response that results in delayed symptoms in response to milk proteins, which are usually not harmful to nonallergicly tolerant individuals. In the majority of infants with CMPA, there is usually a non-IgE-mediated response. Non-IgE-mediated CMPA is mediated by T lymphocytes and cannot be detected by allergy blood tests that quantif...
